Durand Family

The Durand family is part of the Ese-Eja community, an indigenous group on the Tambopata River. The Durands have been working together for decades towards the goal of protecting their wildlife and forest, and continue to do so today hoping to find a sustainable future in ecotourism. Farmers, medicinal experts, boat drivers, and professional guides, they are a diverse and fascinating clan, who are at the forefront of grassroots conservation.
